functioning alcoholics

[LocalYokul 214]

I was on the piss all weekend pretty much.

woke up yesterday morning with some bird & didn't even know what bar I got her from

 

hangover was biting, so I went out for some hair of the dog, just to take the headache away

once the headache was gone I figured I'd continue, next thing I know it's 9pm & I fuck off home realizing I need to get some sleep

 

this morning I nearly coughed up a lung, but still managed to keep from vomiting & then saddled up to get on with the day at hand

I still don't feel quite right, way too much alcohol intake to feel normal today.

 

my original plan was to take my ass to Rayong for the weekend & get away from all this drunken debauchery, but alas it was not to be when the item I ordered from BKK didn't arrive at the intended destination in Rayong by Saturday afternoon.

 

I've met guys who come to LOS to party & realizing they are alcoholics they just don't drink

how do you do it ?

 

I tried going it sober to the bars before & it was a drag, but waking up hungover like hell with an empty wallet is a drag too.

 

 

I was sitting in a bar at 10:45 & before noon I'd been blown by 3 of the BGs that work there. It took the 3rd one to finally get me off, dried up from all the drink & having shagged the gal from last night 4 times.

Right before noon I though, now that's just not something you can do every day, especially not outside LOS

 

 

I've met people who attend AA, but isn't that all a bunch of talk about a higher power mostly ?

I've gave up drinking. Not sure if I will drink on holiday. Done it before and had a good time in Pattaya and Bkk, but not sure about it this time. Maybe I should avoid bars. Maybe I should only drink in los. Too early to make my mind up. I feel that at 47, I need to focus on staying flexible, and energy. Lots to cram in before getting much older. Drinking was holding me back.

[LocalYokul 214]

before I was almost clever in that I would make calls to the BGs on Sunday & have them come over for a session or two.

then I could stay home & nurse my hangover

 

after seeing some of the chicks I've nailed recently (in the morning), I'm betting I would have never went with them sober.

You are a superman,my hero.

What about a vote on

 

I am a moderate expat drinker

[LocalYokul 214]

I'll see if I can add it

[LocalYokul 214]

three for "functioning alcoholic", 1 each for the others, except for the new one I just added "moderate drinker"

 

can't say I know many moderate expat drinkers, either they are tee-totalers or they are drunks

 

I can't remember how many times I slinked back into Banchang after working in Chiang Mai, Petchburi, Udorn & hearing the expats who were on regular 8-5 jobs telling us how busy they were at 3pm in the pub, LMAO

 

maybe if they spent less time in the pubs they wouldn't be so damn busy when in the office

I go out a couple of times a week and do drink a fair bit but go home before i am pissed.Doneit for 6 years and hopefully will do it for another 25 years lol

[LocalYokul 214]

not sure what the compulsion is for me. sitting at home bored as fuck & head out to get a BJ, one drink leads to another & then I've been on the piss for hours

dont need to go out for that

[LocalYokul 214]

had a chick wanting to move in & be my TGF, but in the longrun I'm betting it would cost more to keep her around than it would to just go out & get a BJ when I want it.

[Obsession 571]

I voted that it may affect my work. I wasn't drinking every day. Maybe two or three times a week. But when I did, I didn't stop. Long sessions.

You didnt last week

[jacko 8,813]

All sounds fine to me... keep it up.

Regarding the coughing, do you smoke? If so stop it and then you will have more money to spend on beer.

 

PS Define 'functioning'

Doing OK. It only hurts when I stop.

[LocalYokul 214]

not a smoker

drinking hot tea in the morning was hurting my chest & then later cold water was the same

 

"functioning" = being able to do tasks assigned to you in a timely manner, or think on your feet & get things done like a person who doesn't drink so much

Have you ever thought of telling the bird that you want a house cleaner,and pay x amount,but you want the od bj,and maybe even watch you shag other women,that would show her you dont want a long term relationship

That could work......

[LocalYokul 214]

don't need that kind of drama, cause I know she'd never be happy with me bringin' other gals home

or me being outside getting shagged, knowing full well what I was up to

& no I wouldn't tell her, but the bamboo telegraph is powerful, especially down here

[bratpack 91]

You didnt last week

 

 

Thats cos i was with the mighty Villayouth lol

 

I did leave you on soi 8,too much drink for FLB bar,what would have Martin though of me lol

[Gary 4,118]

I'd probably be an alcoholic but my raggedy old body won't let me. After imbibing too much, I suffer for at least two days and no way could I choke down an alcoholic drink. Even thinking about a beer makes my stomach turn.

That burning feeling in the digestive tract is what I get after a session of 5%+ ale. Tea goes down like molten lead.

 

A drop of milk may help, or take more ice with the drink.

 

Heavy drinking when you get older is not a great idea. I know- it is at the time.

[LocalYokul 214]

well, I guess I will have to let the tea cool more or try milk

don't really like mik in tea much, but it's better than that burning sensation & w/o the tea I'm coughing like I'm about to lose a lung

[nidnoyham 30]

Judging by the response to this thread.

 

Either there are a lot less Functioning Alcoholics in LOS than I thought, or some are a bit shy about it.

[LocalYokul 214]

I know quite a few, they're in the bars every night, even I don't go out EVERY night, but when I do kick it in on the weekend I kick it until it caves in, 555
